The figures come from me talking to FTO's, and I have an inside man in both CAAFU and Flight Crew Licensing.... .. .Having moderated here for a number of years I am pretty well plugged into the sources of info needed to generate the figures.. .. .I agree there will not be 100% of conversion. However I left out low time guys coming to the UK from continental Europe. I think the two balance each other out leaving the figures as I pretty much said.. .. .Will post more later but right now its a lovely day and I am taking Miss Welshman out for a liquid lunch in the sun.. .. .Later,. .. .WWW
